"In 1963, Czech artist Milan Knizak (1940) began to create music (the so-called ’Destroyed Music’ series) out of scratched, warped, defective and damaged records. ‘Broken Music’ (Multhipla, 1979 - Ampersand, 2003) collects his classic collages of noises produced by these means. Residing in Germany, Knizak designed a number of ’events’ that bordered on theater and visual art, defined by the actions that the ’performer had to perform’ (zit. nach www.scaruffi.com/avant/knizak.html).
